WHEN a capillary-tube viscometer is used for determining the apparent viscosity of a suspension of discrete, solid particles in a liquid, it is found that the measured viscosity varies with the bore ...

In this article, we will consider what viscosity is, how it is measured and the applications of viscometry in the food and beverage industry. When a force or stress is applied to a fluid, it flows, ...

Traditional viscometers rely on capillary flow, and falling balls are simple and effective means for measuring fluid viscosity over a large range. However, their low measurement throughput and lack of ...

The most commonly used physical property for lubricants is kinematic viscosity. This article describes how using the solvent-free SpectroVisc Q3000 Series device in the field offers accurate and ...

Knowing the viscosity of a lubricant is critical for condition monitoring. As a result, field-based users need portable viscometers to immediately assess critical equipment while working on-site.
